Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Yeah, antibiotics can definitely tear up our digestive systems.
Unfortunately, sometimes it works out that way. Meds help with one thing and upsets other things.
How is your sister holding up with all of her husband’s issues? I am glad that she has you to vent to. I’m sure that helps some.
This teacher is a bit extreme! Hey, I am all for protecting our environment but she’s going a bit too far.
She needs to be concerned about more important issues and leave you to tend to your own yard.
techie - wow, that's pretty bad. Hope she fails her student teaching.
Not all people are cut out to be good teachers. That’s for sure.
I remember one of my daughter’s teachers saying that she shouldn’t drink milk with her lunch.
This teacher was vegan. She approved of my daughter’s peanut butter and jelly sandwich but told her not to drink milk with it. My kid thought she was nuts! LOL 😆
I don’t care who is or isn’t vegan but she shouldn’t have tried to tell her fourth grade students to be vegan along with her!
Geez, it's not as though she hasn't been there every day trying to get info.
How did that go for your Bil yesterday?
Just how is it that on short notice, so many other 'entities' can disrupt our lives?
I hope sis was strong.
Your sister must be stretched to her limits.
(((Hugs))) to your sis.
Anyway since we suspect his INR was so high because he hadn't been taking the warfarin properly sis thinks it's just as well she is in charge. The man definitely has brain fog and has for a while, but unlike your DH he's belligerent about it.
i was curious what people consider to be the prime of their life. (so i checked the internet for opinions). many of us on the forum have gone through extremely tough caregiving. some of us worry about our prime slipping away.
it's a serious topic.
but i just want to share some responses, and responses to responses, i saw:
question:
What age do you consider to be "the prime of your life"?
answers:
"Diaper years. No bills, no responsibilities, nap and poop whenever, wherever. Everything is an amazing learning experience. Everyone thinks you're cute. People wait on you all day."
"Did you mean age 0-5 or age 85-100?"
----
"At whatever age you decide not to give a f***k about how others perceive you. (So long as you're not a murderous criminal). This can happen in your twenties, thirties, forties, or never. It's really about being comfortable in your own skin and being confident in who you are. For me this was my mid-thirties after having my first kid. Being comfortable financially also helps but isn't necessarily a must. Then again I may change my answer when I'm 50."
----
"Every day until I'm dead, and then even one more because I'll kick death in the groin and cheat out one more day."
🙂
just looking at some more internet opinions of:
What age do you consider to be "the prime of your life"?
answers:
“I am in the PRIME of my life this year. I’m 97.”
“Ages 75-95.”
“Doesn't matter your age, if today's not the prime of your life then you have the wrong mindset.”
“The best is yet to come. I'll make it so.”
“I'm always in my prime.”
i haven’t figured out yet whether i’m a night owl or early bird.

So exciting!
Enjoy your vacation!
Neither of my daughters are married either.
A road trip up the coast of California, maybe.
Soon, the weather will be too hot for me to go outside.
My youngest daughter gets highlights in her hair. She is picky about who does her hair. When she told me the price of what it cost I was shocked.
It’s not cheap! It takes the stylist a long time to do so I guess that they have to charge a significant fee.
Even just a cut and styling cost a lot these days. Same thing with nails. I know women who get the manicures and pedicures every week. That adds up quickly!
Does your daughter do your hair? That’s a nice way to do hair color for people with grey hair.
My. daughter doesn’t have any grey hair yet. She’s in her 20’s. So, I don’t know the exact process of how they do hers.
The stylist has to charge a high amount to make it worth their while. I don’t blame them for charging so much.
I let my hair grow out. It’s silver and I like it. My mom and grandmother had beautiful snow white hair when they got older. My dad had pretty silver hair and mine is like his.
My daughter can afford it. So, if she wants to pay that much, it’s her choice.
My hairstylist just went up in price, but I am sticking with her because I am very satisfied with her work. I tip her plenty each time because she deserves it! I don’t understand why some people don’t ever tip.
I went out for lunch with a friend who is super frugal and I ended up paying for the tip because I think it is awful to be so cheap. Servers rely on their tips.
